Former Detroit Mayor Trades Gated Community for 5 Years Behind Bars

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to obstruction of justice, is trading his home not far from the Jonas Brothers' in a posh North Texas gated community, for a place with even tighter security: a Michigan prison. He'll change residences because he
violated the terms of his probation.

Kilpatrick had, among other things, lied under oath about an affair with a staff member after sexually explicit text messages became public.

When his legal woes ended his Detroit political career, the 39-year-old former mayor found work as a medical-software salesman with Dallas, Texas-based Covisint Healthcare. He and his family have been living in a 5,866-square-foot home in Lakes of La Paloma in Southlake, Texas, an upscale gated community northwest of Dallas.
